Monday saw the expected in David Ash being medically cleared to fully participate from the beginning in Texas’ summer camp that begins early next month. A day later, yet another expected development became official.

UT head coach Charlie Strong announced during the Big 12 Media Days Tuesday that, yes, Ash is the Longhorns’ starting quarterback. Strong stated that Ash is his starter entering camp, so that would technically leave the door cracked for either sophomore Tyrone Swoopes or incoming freshman Jerrod Heard to make a push for the job.

Barring an injury, however, that’s not expected.

Speaking of injury, though, it would behoove Strong and his offensive coaching staff to ensure that Swoopes and/or Harris are prepared given what’s transpired over the past 10 months or so.
